Free public beta until December 4, 2026: every course is open, no card needed. After that, the first chapter of each course stays free and full access is a one-time $39 ($19 for up to 100 founding members chosen for helpful feedback). Your progress is kept. How the beta works

test double

A stand-in implementation that a test controls, such as a fake clock.

A test double (fake, stub, or mock) replaces a real dependency behind an interface so a test can control its behavior.

Examples

  • A FakeClock whose time is always 09:00 on 1 March, so a late-fee test gives the same answer every day.
